We expect to consummate the transaction in a series of steps in partnership with affiliates of Waterland Private Equity Fund V C.V. (“Waterland V”). In the first step, an affiliate of Waterland V will acquire 94.9% of the outstanding equity interests in Median pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with Median’s current owners. We will indirectly acquire the remaining 5.1% of the outstanding equity interests in Median and provide interim loans to Waterland and Median in aggregate amounts up to the expected purchase price of the real estate assets. The consummation of the Median acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including German antitrust clearance. The loans we make to Waterland V and Median will bear interest at a rate similar to the initial lease rate under the sale and leaseback transactions described below.

Concurrently with or as soon as practical following the closing of the Median acquisition, we will acquire substantially all of Median’s real estate assets under a sale and leaseback agreement. We will either assume or novate any third party debt attributable to the real estate assets or provide the cash required to repay the third party debt. The purchase price we are required to pay for the real estate assets will be offset, pro rata, against amounts of debt that we assume or have provided cash to repay, and/or against the amounts of loans previously made to Waterland V or Median. The sale and leaseback transactions are conditioned on the acquisition of Median described above and is also subject to customary real estate, regulatory and other closing conditions, including waiver of any statutory pre-emption rights by local municipalities. To the extent we are unable to acquire the entire Median portfolio as contemplated, we will have a right of first refusal with regard to any new real estate properties owned or acquired by Median.

Upon our acquisition of the real estate assets, we will lease them back to Median under a 27 year master lease, with annual escalators at the greater of one percent or 70% of the German consumer price index. We expect the transactions to be completed during the first quarter of 2015.

Waterland V is an affiliate of Waterland Private Equity Fund IV C.V., which controls RHM Klinik-und Altenheimbetriebe GmbH & Co. KG, the operator and lessee of 11 German facilities that we currently own.

Financing; Amendment of Senior Credit Facility; Commitment Letter

Subject to prevailing market conditions, we intend to finance and/or refinance our obligations relating to the Median transactions with the net proceeds of borrowings under our senior credit facility, new secured and unsecured debt issuances, equity issuances, or a combination thereof.

On October 17, 2014, we and the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to our existing amended and restated revolving credit and term loan agreement, dated as of June 19, 2014, by and among us, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), as administrative agent, and the financial institutions specified therein. The amendment increases the current aggregate committed size of the facility to $1.15 billion and increases the incremental term loan and/or revolving loan capacity by up to an additional $400 million, for total aggregate capacity of $1.55 billion. The amendment further increases the alternative currency sublimit under the facility to €500 million and amends certain covenants in order to permit us to consummate and finance the Median transactions. The foregoing description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full terms and conditions of the amendment, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

In addition, we have received a commitment letter from JPM, pursuant to which JPM and a syndicate of lenders have agreed to fund a new one-year senior unsecured term loan of up to $225 million. The commitment letter is subject to customary conditions for this this type of financing, including, but not limited to, consummation of the Median transactions. The commitment letter provides that, subject to certain exceptions, the commitment will be reduced by the amount of additional debt and equity capital that we raise (or if the term loan is then funded we will be obligated to repay the term loan in such amount).

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth above with respect to the amendment to our amended and restated revolving credit and term loan agreement under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.
